Pamela Anderson has opened up about a deeply uncomfortable encounter at a recent high-profile awards ceremony, stating that being near a certain Hollywood star made her feel physically uneasy.
An Unwelcome Red Carpet Reunion
The former Baywatch icon admitted that seeing actor and producer Seth Rogen at the Golden Globes left her feeling "yucky". The source of her distress stems directly from Rogen's involvement in the 2022 Hulu drama series, Pam & Tommy, which dramatised the theft and public leaking of her private sex tape with then-husband Tommy Lee.
Anderson, who attended the event on Thursday 15 January 2026, expressed that the series was created without her consultation or approval. She described the decision by Rogen and others to produce a show about "the worst time in my life" as both "weird" and profoundly hurtful.
Criticism of the 'Pam & Tommy' Production
In her comments, Anderson highlighted a significant ethical issue. She pointed out that despite public figures often being considered "free game" for media portrayal, she believes it was inappropriate to create a major television series about such a traumatic personal violation without her input.
No one from the production team ever contacted her during the making of the show, a fact she has labelled as "strange". This lack of communication compounded the pain of seeing a deeply private ordeal turned into public entertainment for a global audience.
Hopes for an Apology and Moving Forward
The actress has not minced words about her expectations following the experience. Anderson has stated she hopes to eventually receive an apology from Seth Rogen for his key role in bringing the project to life.
Her candid revelation at the Golden Globes underscores the lasting personal impact that such biographical dramatisations can have, even years after the actual events. It raises ongoing questions about the responsibility of creators when telling the stories of living individuals, especially when those stories involve trauma and exploitation.
While the viral moment at the ceremony involved another attendee, Teyana Taylor, and Leonardo DiCaprio, it was Anderson's quiet discomfort near Rogen that has sparked this conversation about consent, legacy, and healing in the public eye.
